I would have for sure. Might just have to do it myself. Other examples here look great.

True. Thanks

We offer both our Street and Competition systems in a black ceramic coat finish. It looks great with the right car color in our opinion!

Looks like GM missed out on a chance to gouge many of us out of some more money as over half of us would prefer the black tips if it were an option. How much could they have gouged us for? They charged $595 for black painted wheels that had to be painted anyway and many paid it.

If anyone really thinks GM is price gouging on Corvette options, go over to the Porsche website and build up a Cayman just the way you'd want it. A Cayman S has a base price of $65K, it's not hard to get the car MSRP up to 6 figures.
